Glaring Issues with newest build

Build Help

Would love some feedback please about any glaring compatibility issues, alternative parts with better price/performance and quality of parts (long term faults or known hardware failures).

PC part picker highlighted one warning with the size of the PSU and the Cooler master silenecio case however the advertising says it can fit a PSU up to 325mm without front radiator and HDD cage.

I want this build to be quiet and practical. Thanks in advance

One of the hottest running motherboard among budget B550 models.

Why go with a 5700g(g standing for integrated graphics)? The 5800x will be faster for around the same money. But i'd advice going with an intel 12400/12600k/12700. They all will outperform ryzen in gaming and the 12600k and 12700 would be better in productivity as well and might end up bieng cheaper.

I've never used a noctua cooler but have heard great things about it. However, thats an outrageous price for an air cooler.

Yeah I am keen to try out an air cooler and the noctua only good things seem to be said. I would prefer to go all AMD, I am not only gaming alot but I will consider the 12600k I have seen it at some good prices locally.

How does the mutlithreaded performance of the 12 series stack up with Ryzen ?

The Scythe fuma 2 will be cheaper and generally matches the noctua u12a in terms of noise and performance.

12th gen does very well for workstation tasks. The 12400 matches the 5600x and the 12600k beats it by up to 25% in some tasks

Cooler might be a tight squeeze against the installed RAM. I’d pick the 5800x over the 5700g, and a RTX will perform better.

I am pretty set on AMD for GPU. I do a lot of work with Linux and the driver support for Nvidia is not something I am going to put my self through again.

Thanks for the advice on the CPU I will check it out

  1. I'd grab the 5600x instead since it has better gaming performance and you already have a GPU. I'd also look into Intel 12th gen but since the motherboards on those are quite pricy im not sure if it's worth it.

  2. Noctua makes decent products but they are usually terribly priced and outperformed. Go with the scythe fuma 2 if you are paranoid about noise, and if you are fine with a little grab the ID cooling SE-224-XT basic.

  3. I'd swap out the motherboard for the aorus B550m elite which is a bit better and has less shit VRMs

  4. 16GB is fine for now.

  5. Games don't really benefit from an expensive SSD so I'd stick to something cheaper like the Silicon power A60, WD SN550 or at most the Kingston KC2500

  6. The case will be lacking in airflow. Keep that in mind. The front panel is completely solid, good for noise but blocks out a lot of air.

  7. 650w will be fine for the PSU
